Rangers fans want the truth

RANGERS fans are demanding the club’s directors tell the truth about the future of Murray Park.

Shortfall in season ticket sales has resulted in chief executive Wallace to look elsewhere for funds[WILLIE VASS]

The Union of Fans claim a statement apparently safeguarding the status of Ibrox is flawed on the basis that it did not come from the PLC board.

And they are angered that there was no mention of plans for the training ground – with the Union of Fans convinced the board plan a sale and leaseback of the £12million facility in a desperate bid to raise cash.

A shortfall in season ticket sales has prompted chief executive Graham Wallace, above, to look elsewhere for funds with a share issue planned for the autumn.

A Union of Fans statement said: “We were seeking written guarantees over both Ibrox and Murray Park. The board removed all reference to Murray Park. This was not an oversight – they are explicitly refusing to include Murray Park in any undertaking.

“We believe this is because the board are looking to sell this club asset due to their failure to secure funds to see the club through the current season.

“This most recent statement, on behalf of the so-called Football Board – not the PLC board – has crucially not been released to the Stock Exchange and therefore reduces the chance of shareholder action. We ask them to stop the half-truths, spin and smoke and mirrors and tell fans the truth.”
